'choice' and 'rotary' widgets in a layout

[jfdutcher]

Does anyone know why the only widget that will successfully 'populate' itself using the block noted (utildb/2/3 and utildb/2/5) in this little script is the 'text-list' shown  ??
A 'choice' or a 'rotary'  would probably make a better interface item but neither
will successfully populate inside this 'view layout'.....even the 'sample' choice from the VIEW guide won't run here,   even though it does in the console.

The question is : what is the datatype of utildb/2/3 or utildb/2/5 ?
If its block! (as I expect it to be), then VID think it's the action block, not the data block of the 'choice.
To specify the data block (texts of the 'choice) you must use the 'data word before the block.

Code:

view layout [
    choice [print "a" "b" "c"]
    choice data [print "a" "b" "c"]
]
